Kanye West's 'Bound 2' Features Rapper's Intimate Side and a Topless Kim Kardashian

When you think of Kanye West, unconditional love is not usually the first thing that comes to mind. Arrogant, innovative and brash might be more appropriate. It’s common knowledge that West and Kim Kardashian have long been one of Hollywood’s iconic couples, but based on how they’re portrayed in media, one would think that their relationship is restricted to shallow depths.

But you would think wrong. Judging by Kanye’s newest music video for “Bound 2,” which he unveiled on “Ellen” earlier today, the two are deeply in love. It’s almost unsettling to see them show their love and affection. They expose themselves. They bare it all. They take it all off, literally. Kardashian is seen topless for a generous portion of the video as she tenderly clutches to her fiance on a motorcycle. It might sound a bit cliche, but you can see it in their expressions and body language. He’s singing to her, and the message of the song is heard loud and clear.

It was a bit odd that West chose to premiere the video on “Ellen.” Their ideologies and visions don’t necessarily match up, but nonetheless, the video was received with approval and applause. Perhaps his different, more heartfelt approach struck a chord with the “Ellen” audience.

While the song and video had to be edited in order to air on the program, Kardashian released the unedited version on her YouTube page soon after. You can check out both versions below, one of which includes Ellen’s introduction and reaction.
